AN ASPECT ORIENTED-BASED SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURAL FRAMEWORK FOR SYNCHRONIZATION IN MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS

Pasquale Arpaia, Mario Luca Bernardi, Giuseppe Di Lucca, Vitaliano Inglese, Giovanni Spiezia

Abstract:

An Aspect-Oriented approach to software synchronization in automatic measurement systems is proposed. Tasks are synchronized by means of “aspects”, a specific software unit to better modularize properties and features transversal to many modules (“crosscutting concerns”). In this way, maintainability and reusability of a measurement software are improved: once a modification in the synchronization policy occurs, only the related aspects have to be modified. As an experimental case study, this technique is applied to the software synchronization of a measurement station for testing superconducting magnets at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
